Venezuela is a threat to Brazil too. Cuba, Venezuela, Brazil, et all, could be a huge threat to North America in the near future.

It's a long and intricate story but it goes like this. In the late 80's, Fidel Castro met Lula, Brazil's ex-president, to create an organization called Foro de Sao Paulo. The main goal of this organization is to gradually integrate Brazil into the Patria Grande, which is the idea of a conglomerate of latin american countries in a similar fashion to the old USSR. Lula was elected president in 2002 and begun to put his plan into practice. Dilma Rousseff, the current president was elected in 2010 and is Lula's puppet in the government. As a result to Lula's crazy agenda, the economy is crashing: inflation is skyrocketing, fuel prices increased ridiculously, lots of corruption being uncovered by the Federal Police, etc.

The people is claiming for impeachment. There's a mass protest scheduled to happen next March 15th nationwide demanding impeachment of president Rousseff. Now, why is Venezuela a threat to Brazil? Venezuela plays an important role in the plans for Patria Grande. Lula was close friends with Chaves as is now with Maduro. Last March 5th, a crazy guy named João Pedro Stédile, the president of the Landless Workers' Movement (MST), gave a fiery speech in Venezuela calling Maduro to fight against those who claim impeachment of Rousseff. Maduro was amongst the audience and applauded Stedile. Back in February, Lula said in a speech that he will call "Stedile's army" to fight against protesters. He was obviously referring to MST which is non-admittedly an armed branch of the Workers Party.

This is a moment of great tension in Brazil. Civil war is a possibility as is war against Venezuela or any other country that is an ally of Lula. If somehow Patria Grande becomes a reality in the future, it would pose a big threat to USA and Canada.
